The goal of this information
collection is to 1) capture the daily, aggregate impact of COVID-19
on healthcare facilities, and 2) monitor medical capacity to
respond at local, state, and national levels. This information will
be used to inform the overall real-time COVID-19 response efforts
and possible resource allocation, and enable state and local health
departments to gain immediate access to the COVID-19 data for
hospitals within their jurisdiction.
CDC seeks a one-month
extension of the expired 0920-1290 - National Healthcare Safety
Network (NHSN) Patient Impact Module for Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Surveillance in Healthcare Facilities package, so that it can
incorporate a new data collection form to the NHSN COVID-19 Long
Term Care Facility (LTCF) Module: Point of Care Testing Results
form (CDC 57.1) The data collected via this form will inform state
and local health departments as well as federal public health
entities about testing results for patients and staff in nursing
homes. This data will be used to identify COVID-19 outbreaks in
nursing homes, add to the situational awareness of COVID-19 in
jurisdictions, as well as to enable public health agencies to
assist in infection prevention and control activities. NHSN has
requested OMB approval of this form by 10/15/2020. In order for
this nonmaterial/non-substantive change request to be approved, an
emergency request to extend the National Healthcare Safety Network
(NHSN) Patient Impact Module for Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Surveillance in Healthcare Facilities package (0920-1290), is
hereby submitted. The changes made as the result of this
nonmaterial/non-substantive change request will be incorporated
into the standard package upon approval by OMB.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
